When's the album getting released? I'm really digging this song and want to hear some more. Any details you can offer up on the production?
Thanks for checking it out man! The album is a very long way away. We only recorded 3 tracks and we have 3 others.
I remember pretty much everything from the recording process...
Drums are all natural. D112 and FET 47 on kick into Neve 1064 into DBX 160s. 57 on top and bottom snare both going into 1064s then distressors. 421 on top of toms and something weird and old school on bottom being summed on the way in. They were going into Neve as well I think. U67s on OHs but can't remember the chain. One crush mic... a coles going into Neve into an 1176. Coles stereo room mics and an earthworks mic in the hallway. C451 on hats. Drumkit was a Tama Star Classic Bubinga. Paiste custom cymbals.
Drums and bass went down at the same time. Bass was my ESP Vintage 4 into my Orange Thunderverb into an Ampeg 4x10. Mic'd with a FET 47 into Neve into a retro Sta-level. Obviously took a DI too and blended both in the mix.
Both rhythms were recorded at the same time. 1976 Les Paul custom through a 5150III on the blue channel and an ESP Eclipse through some funny Marshall we found. 5150 went through a Mesa cab (sounds like a very Andy-Sneap-forum setup but... it wasn't really) and the marshall through an Simms-Watts loaded old school cab. Both mic'd with some LDC Gefell and a 57. 5150 went through telefunken mic amps into some EMI bus compressor and the Marshall went into Telefunken mic amps then a Fatso.
Can't remember much about cleans other than we used some weird old Wep amps. Acoustic guitar is a Gibson J-45 with a C451 on it and something really weird and old with a valve inside.
Vocals are SM7b into Shadow Hills mic amp into an 1176.
Mixed on an old API legacy. Not a single plugin. Used a real fairchild on the mix buss.
Mastered by Jens Bogren.
If I've missed something then please just ask.
